Yo finally got the new book and made up my list tell me what you think?? post comments and advice please??
It seems a little short on total # of units. If you don't plow through the units you charge, you will get flanked a lot because you don't have many other units.
You got a bold plan, and it might actually work.. Try to fry his flankers with your sallys and back it up with some magic. Try to aim you ancient at the weakest spot of your enemys lines to break through and overrun. Then the next turn, you hopefully get a combined charge from your saurus and a ancient with 2d6 +1 impact hits. It's a long shot, but this could crush the mighties unit. Nerdling is right about you lack of numbers though, and you will probably get easily outnumbered and outmanouvered, especially if you opponent dispel your shadow magic.. But then again, It would be that much fun if you actually succede to pull this manouver of Any ide of who your up against?
well at my local store they have Vampire counts (standard skeleton based army) tomb kings (lots of archers) O&G (Black orcs and Gringor) they're the ones i play the most only things that could really flank in all the armies are.. VC= 9" movement vampire but he's on his own and black coach tomb kings= 2x scorpion things O&G= them steam roller type things so nothing that serious.. i can easily out maneuver all the armies with mine.. and yeh all my armies are usually low amount of units. but they do work. if i keep the engine and the slann within 24" then i can use unseen lurker on engine without line of site so if i get a unit to protect the flank of it alls good there maybe some warriors not sure ill be having my first game on thursday maybe sooner so we'll see
quick note; the range of the Unseen Lurker Spell is 12" not 24".. That been said, if your up agains O&G you should be especially carefull becouse you can be seriously outnumbered. I stil say, don't spred out to much and let him try to get around you. Focus on a strong center and punch right through his line. Just make sure you get the charge and try not to get stuck in combat with several units since you won't be able to overrun and he will then be set to pick you slowly apart. Best of luck
yeh but the slann can cast his spells through a skink (like lork kroak could in 6th) so as long as engine is within 24 i cast it through the skink.. into itself? correct me if i'm wrong lol. and yeh the orc dude has like 4 units of black orcs 2 rock lobbers and 2 roller things and 2 lvl 1 priests for magic depence. so it isnt that much of a challenge. black orcs = 4+ save = no save from ancient =].
lol well :/.. if i went second i could move steg up 12" and turn.. then use spell to get 1st turn flank? because if i move it 12 it'll still be in range of slann..
